Everybody knows that electric cars are going to save the planet from climate change or something. Unlike regular cars, which run on gasoline and make all the polar bears cry as they sink into the sea, electric cars are powered by... um... magic? Mjölnir, the hammer of Thor? That must be how it works, or else owning an electric car would impose some sort of cost to the environment. And that can't be, or those guys wouldn't be so insufferably smug.
You know those intentional blackouts they're having in California to reduce the risk of wildfires? Well, guess what happens now?

Why worry? The car will be consumed in the fire
If the governor bans plastic bottles but you can’t turn on your computer to learn of the ban are you breaking the law?
Does this mean all those electric car owners won’t be able to recharge their batteries and escape the fires?
Ping.
It is a horrific pity if you have a blackout, wildfire, and a destroyed Tesla that couldn’t move.. Karma is a female dog in heat. Actually it would be more entertaining to see all those krispy Priuses... Prius drivers are lousy.
Heh heh heh
in some countries with unreliable electric power, you can get a bike hooked up with a generator and, somehow, to your tv and then you pedal enough to make it watchable. All the electric car owners need to do is hook up a bike to their car battery and start pedaling. And they will feel so virtuous when they do it!
I remember when Hurricane Michael hit, it not only knocked out all the power, it also closed all the gas stations.
Tee
Hee
Funny....I didn’t think of that!
I have a friend in the Bay Area with a Nissan Leaf.
He needs to charge it every night for any trip over 30 miles.
“Does this mean all those electric car owners won’t be able to recharge their batteries”
This means that every electric car will be plugged in durning the times there will be electricity causing a unnatural high demand on the system. Add all the cell phones and drills and stuff.
Good luck
Simple solution; put a gas powered generator in the trunk of the electric car.
Too bad no one's working on using swamp gas and pure B/S to generate power. There's an over abundance of that on our planet.
LOL..look for a repeat in about a week according to the latest data
Our energy supply needs are like a cake. All wind and solar can ever hope to be is the frosting.
Too funny!!!
Prius drivers are lousy.
Hmmm, I own a Prius. Where should I go to surrender my driver's license? And how will I buy booze for the 2020 Trump re-election party without it?
